About the Job:

The Divisional P2P Support Specialist is a key member of the Procurement Support Team, dedicated to improving purchasing compliance, data accuracy, and administrative efficiency. This role reduces the burden on Plant Office Administrators (POAs) by managing specialized procurement tasks, upholding best practices, and acting as the divisional Subject Matter Expert (SME) for purchasing processes.

What You’ll Do:

• Review and validate all requisitions before a Purchase Order (PO) is created, aligning with the industry best practice recommending a requisition review.
• Ensure high purchasing compliance by verifying the correct use of in-network suppliers, Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs), and Contract Purchase Agreements (CPAs).
• Check compliance for work requested against risk tier approval limits.
• Utilize “Buyer” assignment rules and control the number of users that can reopen purchase orders. This limits the number of individuals with the Oracle “Buyer” role, resulting in less training required.

• Assist with match holds related to price and other mismatch issues.
• Verify purchasing categorization and work order information are correct.

Other requirements:

• Provide better data quality for improved future decision-making.
• Follow best practices for non-catalog/description only purchase order creation and setup, which ensures better data quality and improved invoice matching.
• Ensure that parts and labor are always charged and categorized separately for non-catalog/description only purchase orders (addressing a common issue for the tax group).
• Ensure the organization captures purchase volume using the accurate metric (quantity times unit price) if applicable.
• Function as a super user and Subject Matter Expert (SME) of the procurement process.
• Provide a divisional dedicated resource for support groups like environmental, safety, and geology.
• Facilitate better tracking of supplier issues, ensuring collaboration with enterprise sourcing and division procurement to address them.
